Abstract: A moving picture is encoded into groups of video image pictures with each frame composed of fields of different field polarities including a predetermined field polarity. The polarity of the first field of a series of frames to be encoded into a respective group of image pictures is set to the predetermined field polarity. Alternatively, the polarity of the first field of the series of frames may be identified by data transmitted with the encoded moving picture. The encoded moving picture is decoded at a decode start time designated when the first field in each respective group of image pictures is of the predetermined field polarity. Alternatively, the decode start time is generated on the basis of the data designating the field polarity of the first field. A computer-readable medium provides a medium on which the encoded moving picture is recorded and directs a computer to decode the encoded moving picture when the first image picture in each respective group of image pictures is an encoded field of the predetermined field polarity or, alternatively, when the field read from the medium is the first field as designated by designating data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention concerns injectable blood pool contrast agents for NMR and X-ray imaging purpose. These blood pool agents carry imaging contrast enhancers, e.g. paramagnetic or, respectively, radio-opaque compounds for imaging the circulation and/or circulation targeted organs. The blood pool agent compositions are formulated to protect the contrast agents from early removable by the reticulo-endothelial (RES) system of the liver and the spleen, so that they stay in the circulation long enough to provide good images of the blood vessels and blood perfused organs. X-ray and NMR imaging of the circulation and of targeted organs can strongly assist in diagnosing possible ailments in human and animal patients.

Abstract: A system controller (102) is used in a communication system (100) which has a set of inbound channels. The system controller (102) includes a processing system (204) for generating a first message which is transmitted to selective call devices (106). The first message includes a subset identifier which identifies an ALOHA subset of the set of inbound channels for use by a set of the selective call devices (106). A selective call device (106) includes a transmitter (708) and a processing system (710). The processing system (710) identifies the ALOHA subset of the set of inbound channels, and generates a second message and couples the second message to the transmitter (708) using an ALOHA protocol on an inbound channel which is in the ALOHA subset of the set of inbound channels when the second message is a first type. The transmitter (708) transmits the second message.

Abstract: A method is provided for recovering nickel from high magnesium-containing lateritic ores which also contain iron. The ores which are referred to as saprolitic ores are subjected to leaching with a mineral acid from the group consisting of HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3, HCl being preferred. Following leaching with HCl, for example, the pregnant solution obtained is separated from undissolved solids and the nickel preferably recovered by contacting the solution with a resin selective to nickel absorption. The raffinate remaining which contains iron and magnesium chlorides may be subjected to pyro-hydrolysis to produce their respective oxides and free HCl for recycle into the leaching system. The nickel is extracted from the resin using a stripping solution of said acid, and the nickel thereafter extracted from the nickel-loaded stripping solution.

Date Aug. 7, 1997The invention concerns a method and device for the rapid, simultaneous isolation of genomic desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cellular total ribonucleic acid (RNA), free of genomic DNA from various starting materials. The fields of application are molecular biology, biochemistry, gene technology (in particular gene therapy), medicine, biomedical diagnosis, veterinary medicine, food analysis and all related fields. The method proposed is characterized in that materials containing DNA and RNA are lysed in a special buffer, the lysate incubated with a mineral carrier, the carrier with the DNA bound to it separated off and washed with buffer solution, and the DNA subsequently separated from the carrier with a buffer of lower salt concentration. The lysate left after separating off the DNA bound to the carrier is mixed with phenol, chloroform and sodium acetate in defined proportions, the phases allowed to separate, and the total RNA precipitated from the aqueous phase by adding isopropanol. Lysis is carried out using buffers containing chaotropic salts with a high ionic stregth. Lysis of the material and bonding of the genomic DNA to the carrier are both carried out in the same buffer. Both the lysis of the starting material and all necessary washing steps are carried out in an apparatus which makes it possible to process 12 samples in parallel.

Abstract: A device for compressing information sensed from a model of a product is provided. The compressed quantity of information is a subset of the control information that can be transferred, by way of a data link, to machining equipment used to make the product from a blank. The device senses the model in a first coordinate system and converts the sensed first coordinates into corresponding second coordinates, describing the shape in a second coordinate system. These second coordinates form the basis for the control information. Compressing the information substantially reduces the amount of data transmitted over a public telecommunication network of the data link.

Abstract: The procedure for connecting a principal buried conduit to a secondary conduit comprises several stages. Output (200) and input (204) shafts are hollowed out. One of these shafts is hollowed as far as to clear the immediate surroundings of the principal conduit. The other is of the same depth. Boring equipment comprising a succession of boring rods located end to end along an axis (202) is pushed forwards in the ground. The boring equipment is lowered into one of the shafts which has a horizontal section less than that necessary for a man to be able to operate inside. The axis of the boring rods is positioned in the shaft to allow horizontal boring. After having bored along this axis as far as the second shaft, the secondary conduit is passed through the boring so that an end portion is located on top of the shaft in which is located the principal conduit section. This end portion is fixed to first zone of a branching adaptor for connecting the two conduits. The end portion equipped with the adaptor is lowered into the shaft. The adaptor is fixed to a second zone of the principal conduit adaptor. The shafts are then closed.
